Default Air conditioner problem - Compressor Clutch?

Good afternoon all,

2001 3.9 dodge dakota.

Here is the problem, air conditioner isn't blowing cold and the clutch pulley is squealing like a son of a gun. Not sure how much longer we are going to keep this money pit. Could the clutch/pulley squealing be the cause of the air not working? Should I just replace those?

Any advice is appreciated, Thanks

Post take it to a shop its free

Best bet is just take it to a shop that dose A/C they can tell you what you need to know and its free to check it but make sure some do charge.

Smile As they say no question is a bad question

Sometimes we all over think things no big deal most shops will check for free just remember sometimes they are wrong or are looking to rip you off I work hard at not getting ripped off but it still happens even to me.
